Typhlodromina subtropica Muma View in CoL & Denmark
Typhlodromina subtropica Muma & Denmark, 1969: 412 View in CoL ; Muma & Denmark 1970: 132; Denmark & Muma, 1978: 16. Typhlodromus subtropicus, Chant & Yoshida-Shaul, 1983 a: 1046 .
Typhlodromina subtropica, Moraes et al., 1986: 240 View in CoL ; Moraes et al., 2004b: 305; Chant & McMurtry, 2007: 169.
This species seems to be very rare in French West Indies as only some individuals were previously found ( Moraes et al. 2000; Kreiter et al. 2006) and its biology is totally unknown.
Specimens examined — Le François, Mr. Peronnet’s farm, La Digue François (long. 14°34′N, lat. 61°53′O, alt. 59 m), 1 ♀ in bad state on leaves of lime trees C. latifolia .
Previous Records — Antigua, Brazil (Bahia, Espirito Santo, Maranhao, Pernambuco, Rio
Grande do Sul, Roraima, São Paulo), Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Fer-
nado de Noronha Archipelago, Galapagos, Guadeloupe, Jamaica, Les Saintes, Marie-Galante,
Martinique, Mexico, Nicaragua, Peru, Saint-Martin, USA (Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Tennessee, Texas), Venezuela.
Remarks — This species was already known from Martinique but only from one female
( Moraes et al. 2000). The measurements of the single adult female collected in this study agree well with the measurements of the holotype given by Muma and Denmark (1969), by Chant
& Yoshida-Shaul (1983a), and very well with those of the single female collected by Moraes et al. (2000). Measurements of the single female collected and identified in this study are not provided as it was in a bad state, with setae missing. However, distinctive characters of the genus according to Chant and McMurtry (2007) and of the species as provided by Chant and Yoshida-Shaul (1983) were accessible.
